The relevant code locations for implementing this if you want to take a
stab at it yourself is the maintain function in each cache_dir type
(src/fs/*/store_dir_...)

Should be trivial to add a cache_dir parameter specifyung the max number
of files in this cache_dir, and use this in the maintenance function.
